Foundations of Doctoral Research

Catalog description

In this course, students will learn how to conduct doctoral level, problem-based research. Specifically, students will analyze potential problem scenarios to determine aligned research approaches, evaluate the inherent tradeoffs between research methods, propose effective hypothesis and research questions, and determine the appropriate data collection methodology for specific research questions. Students will critically analyze published research to reveal gaps in the knowledge base and apply the concepts of truth and knowledge, including the secular perspectives of epistemology and ontology to the Virtuous Business Model.
